Covid update: New cases reported in Lismore LGA

Another four new cases of Covid-19 have been reported for Northern NSW Local Health District (NNSWLHD), with two in Lismore LGA.



Of the four cases, one case is in the Alstonville area of Ballina LGA, and one case is in the Casino area of Richmond Valley LGA.


NNSWLHD chief executive Wayne Jones said all are linked to previously reported cases and are under investigation.  


There have now been 134 total cases in NNSWLHD since 16 June. 


"Even if you are fully vaccinated you should get tested and isolate immediately if you have even the mildest of COVID-19 symptoms - a slightly runny nose, a scratchy or sore throat or generally feeling under the weather," Mr Jones said. "There are more than 500 COVID-19 testing locations across NSW."


"Northern NSW Local Health District continues to encourage people to get vaccinated against COVID-19 as soon as they are able to, and to be alert for any symptoms of COVID-19 and get tested immediately if symptoms develop."
